But now, it seems, Ward has figured a different way to get to Washington.

Right over the still-alive-and-kicking body of Sen. McCain.

On Wednesday, the day McCain announced that he had brain cancer, Ward posted this missive to Facebook: "Wishing Mr. McCain comfort and peace as he and his family cope with his diagnosis and treatment." Accompanying her Facebook post were two pictures of her campaign volunteers, complete with Ward stickers and signs.

We can't wait for McCain. Really?

On Thursday, she told an Indiana talk radio station that she hopes he’ll resign ASAP and that Gov. Doug Ducey will give her the job.

"I hope that Senator McCain is going to look long and hard at this, that his family and his advisers are going to look at this, and they're going to advise him to step away as quickly as possible," she said on Indiana radio WOWO 1190 AM. "So that the business of the country and the business of Arizona being represented at the federal level can move forward."

Naturally, with her -- Chem Trail Kelli -- at the helm.

Ward said Donald Trump’s agenda "can't be at a standstill while we wait for John McCain to determine what he's going to do."

"Because you probably realize that with John McCain out of commission we don't have 51 votes on the Republican side," she said. "That can't stand. We can't have until the 2018 election, waiting around to accomplish the Trump agenda ... and we can't be at a standstill while we wait for John McCain to determine what he's going to do."

Don't blame McCain for GOP's inaction

Two things.

1. Republicans do have 51 votes even though McCain is absent. Someone who has spent the last three years running for the U.S. Senate should know that.

2. Trump’s agenda isn’t at a standstill because McCain has cancer. It’s at standstill because Trump can't govern, even with both chambers of Congress run by his own party.

Ward, who hasn’t seen McCain’s medical records, pronounced it unlikely that he can return to the Senate “at full force.”

That’s why he should get out of the way and Ducey should appoint her to take his place. Really.

"I have a proven track record of years in the Arizona state Senate of being extremely effective and of listening to the voice of the people that I represent. And you know, I made an extremely good showing against Sen. McCain against all odds."

Yes, she really said these things

Again, really.

“You know, he outspent me nearly 10 to 1," she added. "He has a super PAC called Grassroots Action PAC spent over 10 million dollars seeking to destroy my character, my reputation, and my political future.

"However, I have emerged from those ashes much stronger and really I am beating the pants off of Jeff Flake already. You know, some people told me that Jeff Flake would do well to encourage the governor to appoint me because that would take the pressure off of him."
